Cascais, red and blue

Farol



we stopped at Cascais, which is half an hour west of Lisboa,
to see the Casa das Histórias Paula Rego by Eduardo Souto de Moura
(who won this year's Pritzker Prize).
the building is a monolithic volume in red concrete, and was absolutely breathtaking.

unfortunately we were only able to see Aires Mateus' Farol Museu de Santa Marta from afar,
since it was closed that day (bottom picture).
